There was a LOT of frozen water, I kept traction, and didn't slip like the evidence of someone's studded tires on the frozen water.

90 min to drag the plow 3.75 miles one way and back. Battery would have died after 5.5 miles but I eeked out the last handful in ECO mode in the easiest gear. Ouch
But bike path is clearish from Harold to the Veterans Parkway

I brought the tripod out but while camera was steady enough to focus manually (the AF on this lens is rough) the branches started moving too much after this shot.

I needed more patience, an umbrella and luck to get more of these. Or maybe just to have it actually snowing instead of 1 snowflake to 5 raindrops falling out of the sky.
